Title: couple new blades...
Post by: wakolbinger on April 20, 2008, 09:16:00 PM

Obsidian and the one Texas flint point. I wish I could claim I made these all with abo tools, but I tend to switch back and forth from antler to copper when pressure flaking, so they're a mix of both.

Those are really nice.  A totally different skill than working steel.  Dan

I'm not too much of a hunter, so not really. Though I wouldn't hesitate to put one of these through an animal if I was hunting for sure...
